Self Conscious

So, I've gained a little weight since I got engaged and I feel so self conscious right now.  I'm 5'6" and I'm guessing around 130lbs (I don't own a scale for a very good reason).  I just feel so overwhelmed with all the planning stuff and have been really down on myself about my weight.  Please help!

    Seriously? You might want to try posting on the getting in shape board.

    Ditto Liz, the getting in shape board is great because everyone there is in the same boat. They used to have little red stars for when you lost 2 pounds...I haven't been over there in a while so I don't know what they do now, but those stupid little red stars were actually quite addictive.

    5'6" and 130 is nothing to be self conscious about.  Im sure you look beautiful.

    I gained a few pounds over the holidays. I tell FI I'm working on my winter weight and he just laughs and says "where?". He actually frowns when I say I want to lose a little weight. I'm sure you FI thinks you look AMAZING. If you want to lose a few pounds start walking more. I always park far away from the stores so I have to walk further through the parking lot, and I take the stairs instead of the elevator.

    Good Luck!

    yeah if you are 5'6", 130 lbs should be just right on you. Anything else you'd probably look too thin. If you don't already, start exercising at least a few days a week (you can go to the Getting in Shape board for dvd workout recommendations, we all love the 30 Day Shred by Jillian Michaels) to tone up and give yourself more muscle tone. You'll look sleeker and honestly  you'll feel healthy and strong too. And working out is great stress relief!

    At 5'6" and 130 lbs, your BMI is in the normal range.  Don't worry about losing weight.  Just worry about toning.  That way you'll be firmer and will feel better about yourself.
